by Countable's Trump Impeachment Coverage | 12.18.19

President Donald Trump has become the third U.S. president in history to be impeached by the House.

Trump was impeached on two articles:

\nArticle 1 — Abuse of Power (229 Democrats and 1 Independent voting YEA; 197 Republicans and 2 Democrats voting NAY; 1 Democrat voting PRESENT)
\nArticle 2 — Obstruction of Congress (228 Democrats and 1 Independent voting YEA; 195 Republicans and 3 Democrats voting NAY; 1 Democrat voting PRESENT)\n

Only two other presidents have been impeached: Andrew Johnson in 1868 and Bill Clinton in 1998. Richard Nixon resigned before a House vote.

What's next?

The GOP-controlled Senate holds hearings then votes whether to convict Trump on the two articles of impeachment.
Even before today's vote, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said \"there's no chance\" Trump is removed from office.

“The case is so darn weak coming from the House. We know how it's going to end.”

The trial is expected to take place next year.

Where are we in the impeachment process?

This is an ongoing story and will be updated.
